Seeing Concorde at Imperial War Museum Duxford
It’s not often that N is so complimentary about a day out, but Imperial War Museum at Duxford shot right up to the top of his day’s out list. On a recent stay in Cambridge we headed to Duxford the…
Days out
Exploring Cambridge and Museum of Cambridge visit
We love having a few days away and the latest involved a road-trip for some hotel reviews, where we managed to get a couple of days exploring in and around Cambridge. It’s been many years since I’ve been in Cambridge…
Exploring Hughenden Manor and gardens
Over the winter I always have a few Saturdays to myself when the OH and N are off shooting. But often they’re filled with chores, hair appointments or other things that take up too much of the day to go…
Keeping children entertained the cheeky way (for free)
When you have children you don’t always want to be stuck at home. You don’t want to spend a fortune entertaining children either. I get cabin fever after a while and I’m sure children do too. Going out doesn’t have…
Exploring engineering at Enginuity, Coalbrookdale
Over the holidays I had to get us out the house. This time we decided to visit Blists Hill Victorian Town (my request) and Enginuity (N’s preferred choice, and a way to get him to agree to Blists Hill). It’s…
Go back in time at Blists Hill Victorian Town
Considering I wasn’t a history fan at school, I do enjoy living museums and looking back at old streets and houses. We’ve been to Black Country Living Museum in the past and I really wanted to visit Blists Hill Victorian…
Family days out in the Lake District and Cumbria
We love a day out whether it’s just a weekend day popping out somewhere, or a day out while on holiday. I’m reliving my childhood visiting around the UK, near home and further away, and love sharing it with N….
MyWorld Champions Tennis at the Royal Albert Hall
I’ve not been to watch tennis since I was at 6th form and we visited Queens Club as a school tennis team. We watched Jeremy Bates beating Boris Becker, and saw Tim Henman, who was then just a rising star,…
Blenheim Palace Christmas – Alice in the Palace
I love going on light trails at Christmas, but this year we haven’t booked on any. N refused to go to Blenheim Palace, even if it was just the outside trail, and also said no to Waddesdon, our other usual…
Loving rides at Drayton Manor theme park and zoo
It’s been years since I’ve been to a proper theme park, but over half term we decided to head to Drayton Manor theme park and zoo. We’d taken my sister in law and the youngest nephew – it’s always nice…
Outdoor fun at Cannon Hill Park Birmingham
Sometimes you feel like you’ve just been inside for way too long and it’s time to get out and about. With N’s tennis matches having been cancelled at his asking, we were searching for something to do do that was…
